Need manufacturer link to open in new window

When customers are in my store, and click on a manufacturer in the Manufacturer list, that manufacturer's logo and products come up. The logo is clickable and takes the customer directly to their website. I just want this website to open in a new window. I know how to do this, but not where! Which file do I add the code to?

Thanks!

Nevermind, figured it out!

Could you tell us what you did :)

Oh sure...lol! I always forget that it would be good to post the solution!

OK, go to Modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturer_products.tpl.

I am just going to cut and paste my code and bold the changes, I think that is the easiest way to show what I did...

Excellent thank you was just what I was looking for.

Last think I want is my customers leaving my shop for the manufacturers website!

Off to try it now :)

I know!!! I can't believe that wasn't just built in! I just discovered it and had to get it fixed!

Worked perfectly thanks Danielle :)

No problem I'm glad it worked for you!

Re: Need manufacturer link to open in new window

Hi Danielle,

I tried to incorporate in my code, but it didn't work. Here is my code. Can you tell why it won't work for me?

Code:

{* $Id: customer_manufacturer_products.tpl,v 1.12 2005/12/29 08:43:52 max Exp $ *}

{if $manufacturer.is_image eq 'Y' || $manufacturer.descr ne '' || $manufacturer.url ne ''}

<table>

<tr>

{if $manufacturer.is_image eq 'Y'}



{* NEW CODE*}

<TD valign="top">{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}{/if}[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/mlogo.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturer.manufactur erid}[/img]{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}{/if}</TD>

{elseif $manufacturer.url ne ''}

<TD>{$lng.lbl_url}: {$manufacturer.url}</TD>

{* END NEW CODE*}



{* replaced code to open new window with manufacturer's logo

    <td valign="top">{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}<a href="{$manufacturer.url}">{/if}<img src="{if $manufacturer.image_path ne ''}{$manufacturer.image_path}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}/image.php?id={$manufacturer.manufacturerid}&amp;type=M{/if}" alt="{$manufacturer.manufacturer|escape}" />{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}</a>{/if}</td>

{elseif $manufacturer.url ne ''}

    <td>{$lng.lbl_url}: <a href="{$manufacturer.url}">{$manufacturer.url}</a></td>

*}



</tr>

<tr>

{/if}

    <td valign="top">{$manufacturer.descr}</td>

</tr>

</table>

<br />

{/if}

{capture name=dialog}

{if $products ne ''}

{if $sort_fields}

<div align="right">{include file="main/search_sort_by.tpl" url="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=`$manufacturer.manufacturerid`&page=`$navigation_page`&" sort_fields=$sort_fields selected=$sort direction=$sort_direction}</div>

<br />

{/if}

{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$products}

{else}

{$lng.txt_no_products_in_man}

{/if}

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$manufacturer.manufacturer content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra='width="100%"'}

{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

thank you,
Kara

I found the solution: The following HTML code will enable you to open all of your links in a new window. Place this code between your <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags in your /customer/home.tpl
<base target="main">
